The Detroit Bureau Automotive Project
"The Detroit Automotive Project uses research, education, and negotiation to persuade companies to close the multi-billion dollar trade deficit between corporations and minority consumers by hiring and promoting more minorities to corporate boards and awarding more contracts to minority businesses. Among the 486 directors of the forty-five companies in which we own stock, there are just 23 African Americans, 4 Latinos, 84 Asians, and 45 women".

(Based on our research DaimlerChrysler, Nissan, America Honda and Toyota boards include foreign nationals.)
*The DaimlerChrysler Corporation Supervisory Board approves major company decisions, as well as selecting and monitoring management boards.
**In 2001 Toyota created a multicultural North America Diversity Advisory Board composed of prominent North Americans.
Inclusion of people of color and women in management, employment, professional services, procurement opportunities and corporate board representation is our standard of a good corporate trading partner.
Equal opportunity and equal access for people of color and women on all levels will make America greater. We did not know how good baseball could be until everyone could play. America cannot achieve true greatness until it provides a level playing field for everyone.

The Detroit Bureau Automotive Project Goals:
• Promoting and increasing minority participation and program integration at all levels of the automotive industry through partnership, research and community relations.
• Research automotive manufactures diversity plans to ensure equal and fair consideration for minorities in every level of management, suppliers, dealers, board representation, human resources marketing, finance and technology.
• Partner with automotive manufactures to develop and execute strategically focused diversity marketing plans and implement measurements to ensure program success.
• Advocate on behalf of employees, customers and corporations within the automotive industry.
The Automotive Project spearheaded the move to foster greater minority inclusion at Toyota resulting in Toyota’s introduction of their 21st Century Diversity Strategy – a 10 year-, $7.8 billion commitment to diversity.
Similarly, both the Automotive Project and the Wall Street Project have led the battle against predatory lending and racial profiling in the automotive, retail finance, insurance and banking industries. The project is currently responsible for ongoing negotiations with auto manufactures and financial services companies, to end such egregious practices and bring greater parity in lending practices. |
